don't know if it available out of France, but if you like the Breguet TAON, just buy "le fana de l'aviation" this month...there's a nice article about the OTAN LWF competition of 1957, with a superb picture of the TAON on the cover. hope you enjoy it!!  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

There's also an article in either Wings of Fame or IAPR on the TAON can't remember what issue it was.

I think it was in the premiere issue from 2001:

Just for the fun : after we talked about the Breguet Taon, i made amodel of this plane. I used a F-86 canopy, Mirage F-1 windshield and wings (have to cut a lot of plastic!), Falcon 20 turbojet. Armed with two rocket pods (borrowed to a Jaguar) and two AIM-9 (from the F-104). air intakes come from Tophe's T-2 . As i has no markings for the plane (can't find these f... Mystere IV decals :( ) I painted it blue, with red air intakes. The fin is a Tigermeet one, Ie black and yellow strips.  

:( No photo of this model until next week, my girlfriend took its digital camera with her (hey, its HER camera :P )

Lot of fun doing it :), and it fit well between the Br.112 Sirocco and the Br.121 Jaguar :P
